    No, they probably hid it in another mixer control somewhere where each
    App gets it's own volume slider.

    I don't know which version of Windows you are using. https://www.howtogeek.com/352787/how-to-set-per-app-sound-outputs-in-windows-10/

    Or if you are even using Windows 10...

    At one time, I think the browser could record the volume
    setting for each web site. So in the cookies, would be a volume
    setting for Youtube. I don't know if they still do that or not.

    But at least at the application level, you could dial Firefox down
    from the 100% level. The master volume level still remains
    in control of the mixer output.

    Search bar - "audio troubleshooter" without the quotes.
    I got bollox on Win10 this way, Win11 was OK

    *******

    Alternate means to find the real troubleshooter:

    Start : Run : control.exe # Start the control panels interface (pin to taskbar for future usage)
    Troubleshooting control panel # Similar to the old MATS troubleshooters for different topics
    View All (left side) # Shows all the troubleshooters in a big list. "Playing Audio" # It should light up the current output port in the menu...
    # Verify that your speakers are on that port.

    Not all the troubleshooters are good, but this is the
    next best thing to an assistant. I find, for network problems,
    it uses the "usual commands" and gets things running. Other
    bits of hardware, they did not do a good job.

    I find the volume is too low on mine, but I might be a deaf old ohttre.

    I'm wondering if there's a registry setting.

    You could try a volume booster, Ear trumpet for example.
